RANKED MATCH MODE
- There are two types of points in Ranked Match. Both are awarded or lost based on wins and losses.
- First off there are Battle Points. Unlike Street Fighter 4, where Battle Points represented your overall player skill, in Super Street Fighter 4 Battle Points are character specific. In this way you can look at your Battle Points and know how your skills at different characters compare.
- Next there are Player Points. This is your overall score and represents your overall skill as a player.
- In Ranked, you can upload a replay for everybody to see in Replay Channel after 3 straight wins
- You can save a replay of your own matches to My List for your own personal viewing whenever you wish.
THREE NEW NETWORK MODES HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED FOR SUPER STREET FIGHTER 4
Replay Channel Mode
This mode allows you to gather and watch replays.
- Replays can be searched for by selecting different channels which filter replays in specific ways. For instance, you can select the "Boss" channel to watch replays which feature Street Fighter boss characters such as M.Bison and Seth.
- Channels include Random, New Face, Boss, New Replay, Battle Log, My Channel, and My List.
- Up to 8 players can join in a Replay Channel lobby so that you can view replays and talk amongst yourselves with voice chat while watching.
- My List is for your personal replay viewing. You can download and save replays from other channels or you can save your own match replays so that you can learn from them.
- You cannot watch My List replays with others using the Replay Channel lobby as these replays are for your personal viewing. You can rate each one with 1 to 5 stars to remember which ones were great.
Endless Battle (Quarter Match Mode is Confirmed!)
This is the mode many of you have been asking for. Endless Mode is another name for what is called Quarter Match mode in Super Street Fighter II HD Remix.
- As the name suggests, you can play endlessly in this mode.
- In this mode the winner stays and the loser goes to the back of the line to wait for his turn to challenge the current room champion.
- When you are not in the match you can spectate and even talk amongst yourselves using voice chat.
- This mode is for up to 8 players.
- Endless Match has no effect on Player Points or Battle Points. It is exclusively for casual gameplay.
Team Battle
- This mode is for up to 8 players broken into 2 teams: Red and Blue team.
- Players can manually set up teams or players can be automatically split into 2 teams based on their Player Points. Even if Player Points of individual players are uneven, the teams that are automatically generated will try to produce a combined level for both teams which is as even as possible.
- Once teams are decided, you can decide the order in which the players on a team will take their turns. You can also let the game automatically decide the order.
- You can create Team matchups in any combination of 8 players!! You can do 2 on 2, 3 on 3, or 4 on 4 for even matchups. However, you can also do mis-matched teams where 1 can face 7, 2 can face 6, and so forth!
- You can use the Arcade Request feature for this mode. You can play in arcade mode until the room is filled.
- Like Endless Battle Mode, when you are not playing in a match you can spectate and talk amongst yourselves using voice chat.
- You can invite specific players to be on your team.
FEATURES FOR ALL NETWORK MODES
- All multiplayer lobbies support up to 8 players
- All multiplayer lobbies will have the ability to spectate matches and voice chat
- Blind character select for all network modes, including no cursor motion sound
- Preset comments available for entering a lobby
